A simple yet flavorful dish featuring crispy garlic and perfectly fried eggs, reminiscent of a sun-kissed Spanish kitchen.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (8 grams)
  • Pinch sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (30 ml)
  • 4 cage-free organic eggs
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (60 ml)
  • Pinch sea salt
  • Dash black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Garlic-Parsley Paste: Add 2 cloves of roughly chopped garlic to a mortar along with a pinch of sea salt and 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley. Use a pestle to pound the mixture into a rough paste. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil, mix until combined, and set aside.
  2. Heat the Olive Oil: Place a small to medium-sized frying pan over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup (60 ml) of extra virgin olive oil to the pan and let it heat up until hot but not smoking.
  3. Slice Garlic: While the oil heats, thinly slice the remaining 4 cloves of garlic. Crack the eggs into small bowls (2 per bowl, if possible) to make them easy to add quickly to the pan.
  4. Sauté Garlic: Add half the sliced garlic to the hot oil, stirring for 30 to 45 seconds as the garlic begins to turn golden.
  5. Fry the Eggs: Immediately add 2 eggs to the pan. Spoon the sautéed garlic slices over the eggs and let them fry undisturbed until the bottoms are crisp and golden, about 1–2 minutes.
  6. Finish Cooking: Carefully spoon some hot olive oil over the egg whites for a few seconds to finish cooking. When set, remove the eggs and garlic slices from the pan, letting any excess oil drip off.
  7. Repeat the Process: Repeat the process with the remaining eggs and garlic.
  8. Serve and Enjoy!: Place the fried eggs onto serving plates. Season generously with sea salt and black pepper. Drizzle the parsley-garlic sauce over the eggs and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

Serve with crusty bread or a simple salad for a complete meal. Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored for up to 2 days in the fridge.
